YACHTING YAwNS.
The Mayhower and Arrow matter is
exciting extraordinary interest in Eng
land. All the London newspapers have
had articles about it during the past
week. The general impression seems to
be that Mr.. Chamberlayne should waive
the condition imposing restriction on
the use of the Mayfower's centreboard.
| Considerable pressure is being brought to
bear upon him in this direction, and a
very general desire on the part of Eng
! lish yachtsmen that he should do so is
reported. Chamberlayne is not such q
bad fellow after all for an Englishman.
| Being asked if he could choose an out
side course, he said: "I'm afraid that if
we were to meet heavy weather the Ar
row would not hold together 1 would
not dare drive her in seaway Even
with the centreboard sealed l am certain
OF defeat, my only hope being in a huke.
Then next season would build a centre
board yacht on this side-for 1 believe
in the idea-go to America and try to re-
gain the Queens Cup from the Ameri-
cans with one of their own type of vessel,
built on the Mayhower principle. You
will understand that ask for the sealing
OF the centreboard simply to prevent the
race becoming procession and myself
ridiculed."
Mr.. Baldwin's bay colt Goliah, by
Grimstead, dam Maggie Emerson, is first
favorite for the Kentucky Derby, one
mile and half, to be run at Louisville,
May IL. Only three to one is offered
against him. Captain S. s. Browns
chestnut colt Rightaway, by Onondago,
dam Montagorda, is second choice at six
to one, and Montrose, by Duke OF Mont
rose, dam Patti, third choice at eight to
one. Banburg and Jim Gore are quoted
at ten To one each, and Alcade, Duke of
Bourbon, Luke Alexander, Libretto and
Poteen at fifteen to one each. Silver
Bow, against whose chances seventy-five
to one was laid a few weeks ago, is down
to twenty to one, and as he is generally
looked upon as thesone Mr.. Maggin hopes
to win with, even these figures are likely
to be lowered before the starters are
named. We will take one or two pools
on our Western colt.
PUGILIsTIc POINTERS.
After champion John L. Sullivan had
been introduced to the President, and
passed on, the crowd all followed pell-
NELL after him, and the President was
left standing alone and deserted. Such is |
greatness.
The spirit OF the press throughout the
country OH the proposed prize ring en- |
counter between John L. Sullivan and /
Jake Kilrain for $4,000 and the cham
OF the world, claims that Sulli
van is bound to meet Kilrain. The
people and the press rnle this country.
and probably Sullivan, knpwing this
weight will be brought against him, will
understand that he must either leave the
pugilistic throne or agree to battle for it.
Jake means business, and his record
does not show him to be the coward I
sheedy trieste make the public believe.
Pardoning Mcdonald and Siade was a
very graceful act on the part of Governor
West.
